Swing and a Miss: Top 10 Pitchers That Make Derek Jeter Look Foolish

There aren't many pitchers that can cause Derek Jeter headaches, but here's a list of 10 pitchers who have had their way with Jeter. There are a few surprising names and there's names that are definitely known.

To qualify for the top 10 list Jeter must have had 25 at-bats against the pitcher.

Number 8: Ted Lilly

Lilly an ex-Yankee makes the list. He qualifies just barely with Jeter getting 25 at-bats against him, which makes sense considering Lilly pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays a team in the same division as the New York Yankees.

Jeter hasn't done much of anything against Lilly he's got just five hits, a bating average of .200, two home runs, two rbis, two strikeouts, and six walks.

Number 6: Brad Radke

Radke was a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins who had impeccable control. Never really walked anyone and just went out on the mound and threw strikes. It is surprising that Radke makes the list because Jeter is such a good hitter and uses the entire field.

In 41 at-bats Jeter managed just eight hits, which is a batting average of .195, Jeter managed one double, an rbi, eight strikeouts, and two walks.

Number 5: Erik Bedard

Bedard used to face off against Jeter since he was a starting pitcher for the Orioles. He's still in the American League but he hasn't been able to remain healthy. When he's healthy is one of the better left handed starters in baseball.

Jeter so far in 32 at-bats he's had six hits, a batting average of .188 a triple, two rbis, 10 strikeouts, and two walks.

Number 1. Scott Kazmir

One must wonder if Kazmir hadn't been injured as much as he was with the Tampa Bay Rays just how good of a pitcher he would have been. He's still a solid pitcher, but injuries did curtail his career.

But, against Jeter he's been lights out against him. Jeter has faced him in 42 at-bats has just six hits, which is a batting average of .143, he has two doubles, he has two home runs, seven rbis, he's also struck out 12 times, and walked three times.
